India history and geography
Bhūmicchidra-nyāya.—(IE 8-5; EI 30; CII 3, 4; HRS), literally, ‘the maxim of the fallow land’; the principle of the rent-free enjoyment of land by one who brings it under cultiva- tion for the first time. See Ep. Ind., Vol XXIX, p. 86. The maxim is based on the old custom of allowing a person, who first brings a plot of fallow or jungle land under cultivation for the first time, to enjoy it without paying rent. Bhūmi- cchidra gradually came to mean ‘uncultivable land’. See bhūmicchidrapidhāna-nyāya, avanirandhra-nyāya. Note: bhūmicchidra-nyāya is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
